I am sorry to hear of your dilemma. I realize how frustrating this is for you and I hope to provide you information which is accurate and useful, even though it may not be the news you were hoping to get.

As you are probably aware, very few accidents are actually witnessed by a police officer. All that is needed for a citation based on the accident is that there be a "complaining witness". That can be anyone, legally competent to testify in court, who actually saw the accident.

Likewise, a month delay is not illegal, in and of itself.

The officer can come to your home, but you are not required to make any self incriminating statements.

I realize this is probably not the answer you were hoping to receive. Also, please remember that this is not a moral judgement on my part. As a professional, however, I am sometimes placed in the position of having to deliver news which is not favorable to a customer's legal position, but accurately reflects their position under the law. I hate it, but it happens and I only ask that you not penalize me with a bad or poor rating for having to deliver less than favorable news.

No problem, I was just wondering. In case he asks me to sign anything. At first he wasn't doing a citation, but when the other party started claiming damage that wasn't there and wanted to be paid personally, I got my insurance involved. Now that they are involved the police officer wants to do a report when the only damage was to buff the paint.
